Palestinian leader's speech condemned as anti-Semitic

Alistair Burt said Mahmoud Abbas's remarks, at a meeting of the Palestinian National Council in Ramallah on Monday, were "deeply concerning". "The hatred towards the Jews is not because of their religion but because of their social roles related to taxes and banks".

Abbas touched on a number of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories during what he called a "history lesson", attempting to prove that the 3,000-year-old Jewish connection to the Land of Israel is false.

Abbas also said that most of Europe's Jews thought their money was more important than their lives because they stayed put.

The "proof" that it was not because they were Jews, he asserted, "is that there were Jews in Arab countries".

Croatian police have arrested a Bosnian citizen who may be extradited to Tunisia over his alleged involvement in the killing.

Abbas's comments came at the opening of the Palestinian National Congress, when he said Jews had been killed throughout history due to their "social function" in areas such as banking.

Abbas, elected to a four-year term in 2005 but who has remained in office in the absence of fresh elections, had not responded to the condemnations.
